The Record

FRENCH CAMP - Authorities on Wednesday released the name of a skydiver who fell to his death Tuesday in Acampo.

The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office identified the man as Timothy Dutton, 27, of Nevada City. Dutton, a former professional skier who competed on the Freeride World Tour for three years, died during a jump at the Parachute Center, authorities said.

Parachute Center owner Bill Dause said it appeared Dutton was knocked unconscious in a midair collision with another skydiver and never deployed his parachute. His body was found about 11/2 miles from the Parachute Center near a home in the 4300 block of East Collier Road, authorities said.

According to the Tahoe Daily Tribune, Dutton burst onto the freeskiing scene in 2009, when he won his first big-mountain competition in the Subaru North American Freeskiing Championships at Kirkwood and the Subaru World Freeskiing Championships in Alaska. In a 2010 ESPN.com story, Dutton was labeled the "next big thing" to come out of Squaw Valley.

STOCKTON - The Stockton Police Department has arrested a man in connection with a deadly shooting that occurred outside the downtown Stockton Cineplex last week, authorities said.

Ojeda was arrested in connection with the death of Francisco Erubey Sanchez, 30, Community Service Officer Rosie Calderon said. Sanchez was fatally shot about 10 p.m. Friday at Janet Leigh Plaza outside the Regal City Centre 16 movie theater in the 200 block of North El Dorado Street.

FRENCH CAMP - Authorities have identified a man who died when he crashed his newly purchased motorcycle Monday on a frontage road east of Highway 99.

The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office identified the man as Charles Howard III, 22, of Manteca.

Howard was heading south on 99 Frontage Road East just south of Clark Road shortly after 4:30 p.m. Monday when the crash occurred. Officers said Howard was traveling 60 to 70 mph when he saw slower traffic in front of him, applied his brakes and swerved to the right, hitting a concrete curb and then a metal fence post, authorities said.

Howard was wearing a helmet, officers said. An investigation into the crash is ongoing, and it is not yet known whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision, the California Highway Patrol said.

WHITE PINES - An act of vandalism on a tree planted as a memorial to slain Marine Lance Cpl. Gavin Brummund was committed by two 12-year-old boys who had no idea that the tree was a memorial.

The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday that the resident deputy serving the Arnold/White Pines area had found the two children and issued them citations for committing vandalism.

The Sheriff's Office statement said, "The juveniles were not aware the tree was planted for the local fallen Marine and were remorseful."

The tree honors Brummund, who died in 2010 in Afghanistan. After it was found torn up by its roots on April 6, donors and volunteers came forward to replace it. A new tree was planted on April 18.
